Immediately afterward, the Lotus Eye's voice rang out in Xu Taiping's mind-
"It seems that making that golden cicada leave the third Golden Fruit and spit out the second Golden Fruit's pit is already the limit of what you can do now."
"Put away the Lotus Eye first, or it will explode along with the Golden Core inside you."
Xu Taiping hurriedly put away the Lotus Eye at those words, then said with some regret, "Unfortunately, for now, I can only use this Divine Ability, One Glance, a Thousand Years, once a month. Otherwise, perhaps this Divine Ability alone would be enough to defeat Su Chan."
As he spoke, Xu Taiping had already tightened his grip on his long saber again and activated Overlord's Breath, the body-tempering power of second-stage qi and blood.
But just as he prepared to slash down at the Golden Branch below, the Lotus Eye's voice rang out in his mind once more-"As compensation for swallowing three of your Gate-Sealing Stones back then, I can help you use the power of One Glance, a Thousand Years once more, at the cost of sleeping for thirty years."
"But you must choose for yourself whether to look inward or outward."
"Looking inward can advance your cultivation ten years in a single glance."
"Looking outward can make Su Chan spit out another half of a Golden Fruit."
When Xu Taiping inherited the power of One Glance, a Thousand Years, the Lotus Eye had already explained that looking inward meant using the Lotus Eye to gaze within himself, allowing him to gain the cultivation and combat strength he would only possess ten or even a hundred years later.
Those ten years did not mean ten years' worth of cultivation power, but rather the strength Xu Taiping could possess ten years
